The pretty pink flower seen often in wetlands is in the Primrose Family (Primulaceae) and is known as darkthroat shooting star or pretty shooting star (Dodecatheon pulchellum).

I found it at the valley bottom, about 5,400 feet near some springs. I haven't seen it up higher yet, but it should be working its way up the mountain soon.
Wow, this one's a beauty. Haven't seen it yet, wanted to for a long time. Is it blooming out your way now?
